* I went to Lincoln Elementary and Emerson Jr. High with many friends who went on to PHS.  Every time there is a reunion I am notified and told that I have to go...and I do.  My sister-in-law, Robin (Stranigan) Long is the latest person to tell me to register, so I finally did.  I actually graduated from Western Christian High in 1972.

I know this seems a bit odd...but the class always seems to want me there.  I think some of them actually think I graduated with them!

Hope this is ok.

Valerie

 

Tell us what's happened to you since high school
(Feel free to tell us THE WHOLE STORY):

When I finished high school I waited to go to college until I was in my mid
twenties. I ended up going to Nursing School at Azusa Pacific University .
Dan and I married soon after I graduated. I became a School Nurse and ended up receiving a credential during the time Dan and I were starting our
family. We have two children, Ricky and Rachel. Then I went on to get a
Masters in Educational Administration (M.Ed Adm) and then a Masters of
Science in Health Care Adminsitration. I've Coordinated Health Services, but went back to hands on nursing when we moved down to be near my parents in Temecula. I am also teaching Community Health Nursing for Azusa Pacific University RN to BSN online classes. My family has always been very active; camping, boating, Rachel cheerleading and now college; Ricky a musician. Dan has always been a car guy at home and at work. He is a Fleet Manager for Crown Toyota in Ontario .
